Mystery Artist for January:
1. Born on December 12, 1863 this Norwegian artist faced many losses throughout his life including the deaths of his mother when he was 5, his closest sister when he was 14, his father when he was 26, and his younger brother when he was 32.
2. Using art to help him express his feelings, this Modern Expressionist used lines, colors, shapes and forms to show his innermost feelings of sadness, loneliness, anger, and suffering. Rather than painting what he saw in the world he painted how the world made him feel.
